Текст Daniel Johnston – Chords Of Fame
Текст:
Verse 1
I found him by the stage last night
He was breathing his last breath
A needle full of heroin was all that he had left
’cause you carry your guitar
But god help the troubadour
Who tries to be a star
Chorus
So play the chords of love my friends
Play the chords of fame
But if you want to keep your songs
Don’t, don’t, don’t
Don’t play the chords of fame
Verse 2
I’ve seen my share of hustlers
As they’ve tried to take the world
When they find their melody
They’re surrounded by the girls
But it all faints so quickly
Like a sunny summer day
We porters ask the questions
They write down what you say
Chorus
So play the chords of love my friends
Play the chords of fame
But if you want to keep your songs
Don’t, don’t, don’t
Don’t play the chords of fame
Verse 3
They’ll put you up for sale
The more that you will find success
The more that you will fail
I’ve been around, I’ve had my share
But I really can’t complain
But I wonder who I left behind
The other side of fame
Chorus
So play the chords of love my friends
Play the chords of fame
But if you want to keep your songs
Don’t, don’t, don’t
Don’t play the chords of fame
Verse 4
They’re gonna put me in the movies
They’re gonna make a picstar outta me
I play the bar and I won’t need rehearsing
’cause all I gotta do is
Act naturally
